Crystal Palace have set the sale dates for their festive home games, with the London derby against Arsenal at the top of the list. The Eagles host the Gunners at Selhurst Park on Sunday, December 27, 2026, at 7pm GMT, and tickets start selling on Monday, November 16.
A change of date
The match was originally scheduled for Boxing Day before the club confirmed its festive schedule. It will now be shown live on Sky Sports, as will the following home game against AFC Bournemouth on Wednesday, December 30, at 7.30pm GMT.
Three phases of sale
Palace use the same order for both fixtures. Season ticket plus holders and Gold Members go first on November 16. All Members follow on Thursday, November 19, and guest tickets are released on Tuesday, November 24. The club lists Arsenal as a Category A game and Bournemouth as Category C, and warns that all dates can change.
Second chance through resale
Anyone who misses out still has a route in. Ticket resale for the Arsenal game opens on December 17 for ST+ holders and Gold Members and on December 18 for All Members. For Bournemouth, the dates are December 21 and 22.
How to buy
All phases run through the club's official ticketing channels. The on-sale page does not list prices, so check the seat selection once your phase begins. Fans who do not hold a membership can also see current listings for Crystal Palace vs Arsenal tickets on Infotickets.
What to keep in mind
Because the Arsenal game moved from Boxing Day to the following evening, older fixture lists and listings may still show December 26, so make sure any booking uses the December 27 date. A Sunday night kick-off also means a late finish for those travelling home across London.
Two home games in four days make this one of the busier stretches on the Selhurst Park calendar, and the first tickets go on sale in under two weeks.
